concern:

,A; E. KLIHE, of Goodville, in the countyof Laucasterand State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful and vice --versa;

a full, clear, andexact description thereof,

part of this specification, in which-' I Figure 1 is awiew of the deviceparallel with the planes of rotary motion. Fig. 2. is a Similar lettersof reference indicate corre- This invention relates to that kind of dovice-forconverting rotary into. reciprocating motion, and vice versa,which is composed, principally, of a rotating disk or plate, containingtwo straight slots crossing its center airtight angles to each other,and a reciprocating rod'or pitman furnished with two pins whereby thenecessity for sliding boxes in the andlthe' movement of the pins isrendered b and b are the slots, crossing one another at right angles inthe center of the to them by bolts f f. U is the reciprocating rod orpitm-an, and d and d are the two pins and h The portions of these pinswhich are received in the slots are cylindrical and of a diameter towork freely in the slots. The distance between the centers of the saidpins is equal to the intended length of stroke of the rod, and thelength of the. slots b cis equal to at least twice'the intended lengthof stroke of the rod with the diameter of one of the I To the rear endoi each of the pins w and .d, behind the disk or plate A, there arerigidly attached two similar wiper-like metal plates, 0 and-e, which maybe termed guard;

The form of the plates, one to each pin. I said plates is such(represented in Fig. 3) that in the revolutionof the disk andreciprocating movement of the rod or pitman each of the said plates willpass between the two opposite arms, a a, of the disk, while itsrespective pin is passing the crossingot the slots 12 and b,thereby'preventing the pins from getting into the wrong slot, and caus-'ing each 'to work properly in its respective slot.v This actionisillustrated in Fig. 3

where the disk or plate A is represented as:

I rotating in the direction of the arrow 4 and the rod or pitman 0swinging to the right. The pin (1, moving in the slot 1), is just aboutto cross the slot b and the plate 6 has arrived in contact with vthe arma of the yoke A, and is about to arrive in contact with the arm a and itwill remainin contaetwithboth of these arms until the pin. (1 hascrossed the slot b, thereby preventing the pin from entering the slot bAs the rotation proceeds and the pin (1*, working in the slot 6 is aboutto cross the slot b, the plate c comes between the arms a a in a similarmanner and prevents the said pin from entering. 'A similar action takesplace whether the device is used for converting rotary intoreciprocating orrcciprocatinginto rotary motion, and the rotary motionmay be in either direction.

* I am aware that it is common in machines;

of this class to employ elongated guides, working'in the intersectingslots, to confine eachpin to its proper slot. I

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,i's-- The guard e e, applied to the pins 11 d, and

operating in combination with the arms a a of the yoke attached to thedisk or plate A, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
